Dirty Little Lies by Lora Leigh
5.0
4.5 Stars.
I would highly recommend reading these books in order. I hadn't realized this was book 3 in a series. I believe they are all standalone books, but there are so many players to this story that I had to go back and re-read some sections to get people straight in my mind.
Despite that, this book was so intriguing to me. All the conspiracy going on and trying to put pieces to the puzzle together made this a really enjoyable read. I'm actually a little bummed that when I go back to book 1, I'm going to know more than I should. If they are anything like this book, I know I will enjoy them despite having answers I shouldn't. I'm not going to explain a whole lot in this review because I personally think its so much more enjoyable to go in blind with this type of story.
So that was what I liked about the story. What I didn't like was how Zack treated Grace at first. Grace has been in love with Zack her whole life. Zack has always been there for her, but at a distance. He doesn't believe she is strong enough for his life. I will admit, that right there ticked me off. Their life in these families have not been easy. She has lost so much in her life and to be treated as if she couldn't handle anything was frustrating. Zack wants Grace but he doesn't think he can have her long term. His pursuit of her while expecting it to be temporary made me see red in the beginning. He knew she was in love with him. It was too late to ask her not to fall and to do that to her after everything she's gone through was cruel. I tried not to let this bother me too much because I knew in the end it would all work out but it was the only part of this story I didn't enjoy. I'm still very glad I read it and I highly recommend it to others who love a good puzzle to solve.
